RCA Music Group has delivered, via the Promo Only MPE System, 16 tracks to date for artists such as the Dave Matthews Band, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson and Velvet Revolver. Universal Music Group (UMG) uses the Promo Only MPE System exclusively to electronically deliver both preview and virtual CD-quality audio files to every US major market radio station.

Mediabase, a division of Premiere Radio Networks, has entered into an exclusive partnership to implement the Promo Only MPE System into their service. Clear Channel has been using the Promo Only MPE System since September of 2004 and has authorized its use in all of their US stations.
Promo Only MPE is a highly sophisticated security system, which locks down the distributed content and allows labels to track who is accessing their property. Each song is uniquely encrypted so that only those with the Promo Only MPE software can access it. In addition, an ID code specific to each individual user is applied when a song is requested; meaning that only registered users can access the song and, once installed, the ID cannot be moved to any other computer.
